An IDF representative will conduct personal interviews at the Consulate General of Israel in Toronto from Oct. 22 - 24, 2018. Young people who wish to enlist in the IDF or persons who have not fulfilled their obligations in accordance with the Israeli Defense Service Law are invited to meet with him.

Wow. That's quite the press gang there. How will the young and impressionable resist such a siren's call?

I suppose we could make it illegal for a Canadian who does not have dual Canadian/Israeli citizenship to join the IDF. But since we can't even seem to stop Canadians from joining ISIS/ISIL, I don't hold out much hope.

Kind of. Not because I want to support them, or give them comfort and succour.

But they identify as the IDF. If we go down the road of substituting what we feel to be more "accurate" names for organizations then we'll be talking about the "Fiberals" (or "Lieberals" or "Libranos") soon enough, because on what grounds would we not?

I'm not even suggesting that they're really about "Defense" rather than "Occupation", but I don't think we really need to open this can of worms, particularly when the change of name is really just some editorializing (even if it's right).

But if we do go down that road, might I insist we refer to an estate tax as the more accurate "death tax"? See what I mean?

Changing defence to occupation is accurate and not a whim. If Japan decides to abandon their constitutional commitment to never be an aggressor in war, their defence moniker for their military should also change.

And if a second tax on my earnings only kicks in after I croak, it should be called a death tax.

I totally get that language is important, and frames how we see things, but this isn't a case of us changing the term we chose for something else, it would be us changing the term someone else chose to describe themself.

It's been pointed out that the "Democratic People's Republic of Korea" is neither democratic, nor of the people, nor a Republic. Can we just call them the "k00Ky Dictator Dictatorship of That Other Korea" because that's more accurate, or should we respect their choice of what to call themself?

OK. If nothing else, we don't need to waste our time and resources on some idiot that chooses to serve ISIS/ISIL.

See ya... wouldn't want to be ya!

I know that neither of us can tell the U.S. what to do in similar circumstances, but would you (at least in principle) agree it's high time the U.S. pushed Steven Seagal off the plank for making it his life's crowning achievement to suck up to Russia/Vlad hard enough to get citizenship there, for Gord knows what reason?

"Next week, one of the world's most heavily armed terrorist organizations will be recruiting terrorists in Toronto, Canada. If Justin Trudeau's government [or citizenry] were truly committed to 'standing up for human rights' it would never permit this travesty to occur on Canadian soil."

According to Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics, the Arab population in 2013 was estimated at 1,658,000, representing 21% of the country's population. The majority of these identify themselves as Arab or Palestinian by nationality and Israeli by citizenship.

If 21% of Israeli citizens are Arab, what is stopping a peace plan other than the Arab call for the death of all Israelis?

"Two days after [Zionists] Michael Levitt MP and A Housefather P wrote in CJN that supporting Israel is 'reflective of Canadian values' Btselem's Hagai El Ad told the UN that Israel's policies in occupied territory 'are reminiscent of South Africa's grand apartheid."

"A 2012 CJN article titled 'Leo Baeck Adopts More Israel-Centric Curriculum' quoted the head of the school saying 'one of the reasons people choose our school is a commitment to the State of Israel. The school promotes the Israeli military..."

"A Palestinian child has been reportedly critically injured by an Israeli gunshot in the head on Gaza's eastern borders."

Would you too like the chance to shoot Palestinian children? Well, thanks to Israel Foreign Affairs and the servile, friendly folks at Zionized Canada, your dream could become a reality. But better hurry, only one day left to apply!

For anyone thinking about joining the IDF on a whim, for the lulz, do note:

1. you need to be Jewish, or convert to Judaism

2. you need to emigrate to Israel and live there before joining

3. you need to speak Hebrew

So I think it's mostly going to be Israelis living in Canada -- who have to serve anyway -- getting caught up by this dragnet. They're not standing on street corners shouting "Who wants an exciting new career? We're hiring!!".
